Conduct research in order to develop an analytical argument about how
a particular culture or cultural identity (or individuals from a particular
culture or cultural identity) has been represented in reporting from two
ideologically distinct news outlets. You will examine two to three
different news articles, but they all must report on the same, specific
incident or issue e.g. George Zimmerman’s trial stemming from his
fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. In your essay, you must:
1) present researched facts and contextual information about the
incident being reported on
2) analyze how the news articles represent the culture or cultural
identity and discuss the implications of these representations
3) reflect on how these representations contribute to and/or
undermine existing stereotypes regarding the culture or cultural
identity in question
4) work cited page
